From the same link on CUK...
As a result, ICTs should be kept in place without changes - as should the minimum salary threshold of £40,000 on ICTs permitting the non-EU applicant to work in Britain for longer than 12 months (and up to five years).

The salary also includes expenses.
You would think the 20K on 6 months or less would be pro rata of the 40, but no it is per annum.
Consequently (and this is from the Bobs I work with) they are paid their local wage + a bonus at home and then good living costs here.
They are better for the sponsoring firm because they can not jump ship once they find out how much everybody else earns. Ours change every 6 months to keep under the limit but none of them are doing "in house" jobs as they are supposed to be. They are all being trained in the clients systems just like anybody else would be.

where there's chaos, there's cash !
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!
